Busco Beach

We both woke up @ 6:30 this mornng. I'm in route to Busco Beach in Goldsboro, and Ashley was off to Odysssey of the Mind competition in Chapel Hill.



Matthew and Carter camped out the night before, and Tyler, Ty, and Cameron drove up shortly after I arrived. Matthew was able to borrow a spare 4-wheeler so I could ride.




The facility is more or less 1800 acres of mud, sand, and small ponds. It wasn't very busy when I got there at 8:30, but as the day moved on more and more people showed up. They had many different tracks, hills, and courses; if you had a motorbike, atv, or as we saw some of the atv-golf cart type machines by Polaris...like this.





We went to a course with hills first. I got to try out jumping the 4-wheeler and that was fun. As I write this I realize I probably should have done less jumping as my left shoulder is so soar...and I can only blame the impact of the many jumps I did.

By far the best part was the mud. I could not wait to run through the little mud puddles...and then later on we went on a trail that was full of the slime and muck, even better. As you can see Carter liked the mud too!

Thanks Matthew and Tyler for planning this and inviting me to come along for the full day of fun. I will be checking out craigslist ...just to browse....com'n u know it will be forever before I buy one of these machines....right???!!!
